I've been wondering this, too. Would definitely like to know whether he handled all the instrumentation or not. Hopefully credits will pop up somewhere.


I swear, this one song had the effect that Jack said the 10th Vault package was gonna have. Sometimes I wonder whether he might need a better understanding of what really blows our heads wide open.

The song for another way to die he played all instruments right?

Ah, I always forget about that one. Dunno why, it's certainly a decent tune.

Then again, he doesn't need to pump this one up like the Vault package . . .

Or even wants to, perhaps. But so many people seem to be more blown away by what he does himself than what TMR bands do, that things like re-mixes and records/dvds of Wanda, the Greenhornes, the Black Belles, etc, just don't seem to have as much impact as he seems to assume they will. (Like how I qualified the hell out of that statement?) Does he not realize that, or does he ignore it in preference of promoting what he wants to promote? Who knows?

Funnily enough I was wondering if that was your inspiration whilst listening to U2 - live in Boston 1981 recently.

Really do like what Jack did with Love Is Blindness

Ever hopeful we will get more than a few tracks of him
a year in the future - JW album is needed soon

Actually, "Another Way to Die" still doesn't qualify. Little Jack played bass, Michael Rinne played upright bass, and Laura Matula played piano.

So then we're left still wondering about this one. Seeing as how he had accompaniment on Another Way To Die and You Know That I Know, he probably did the same for this. Would be cool to find out otherwise, though.

I was always surprised Alicia didn't play the piano for the song.

This quite possibly has the best vocals Jack has put out in a while. I am impressed and beyond.

im going to have to agree and add what i had offered in the other thread here:

Jacks vocals brought home some of the great vocalists of the past in this work such as Joplin combined with R.Plant

it felt entirely comfortable in its range and breadth of tones

compared with the Lost Hank release this track lets us know that we can expect more good to come!
